Within the community we will be creating an Earthworks Work Exchange where community members can earn Earthworks Dollars by working on community projects. A member's labour on Earthworks projects will be in turn credited in Earthworks Dollars to the member's Work Exchange account. Those credits can be spent on a wide variety of goods and services within the Earthworks Community.

Though our community will also be participating in an international barter exchange network, most of our energy and time will be dedicated to creating a healthy local economy that can provide our community members with positive and sustainable employment and business opportunities.
